DR. GUNDRY PODCAST: GUT HEALTH, WEIGHT LOSS, AND NUTRITION

Beef tallow is making a huge comeback. Seed oils are under fire. And suddenly, everyone seems to have an opinion about what you should be cooking with.

But what does the science actually say?

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the biggest nutrition debates today: beef tallow vs. lard vs. olive oil. I'll explain how decades of government dietary advice changed the way Americans cook, why animal fats disappeared from our kitchen...

You've got a bottle of extra virgin olive oil sitting in your kitchen right now. I'd bet money on it.

In this episode, I'm sharing eight science-backed ways olive oil can transform your health,  and none of the...

Every time you pop an antibiotic, you think you're winning the battle, but what if you're quietly losing the war? Sure, antibiotics can be lifesaving. But in our modern times, antibiotics are often prescribed for everything… even when they make no difference at all. 

Most people never stop to ask: Do I really need this antibiotic? Or better yet: What studies show this will actually help my condition? 

And ultimately,...

NAD is everywhere right now: supplements, injections, podcast topics, longevity clinics. And I'll be honest, when something gets this trendy, I get skeptical. But NAD is different. This is actually something I've been watching closely for nearly 25 years, and the science has finally caught up.

Here's what most people don't realize: the exhaustion, the brain fog, the slower recovery you've been chalking up to "just getting older"? Th...

You can't scroll through your feed for five seconds without seeing someone talking about Ozempic, Wegovy, or the newest GLP-1 drug.

But here's what nobody is telling you: your body was already designed to make its own version of this appetite-suppressing hormone. 

However, most of us have stopped feeding the good bacteria responsible for producing it.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the gut-centric theory of hunger, a fascinat...

I trained at one of the world's most prestigious medical institutions and spent years following conventional medical wisdom. But after watching the same advice fail patient after patient, I started questioning everything.

Did you know which Medicare plan is right for you? Well, I've seen it firsthand when patients don't know their options, and it's devastating...

What we talk about in this episode could save you thousands of ...

Think carrots are the secret to healthy eyes? Think again. The real key to sparkling, clear vision has nothing to do with what you've been told — and everything to do with the tiny powerhouses living inside every single one of your cells.

In this episode, I reveal the surprising truth about eye health, the myth that's been misleading you for decades, and the mitochondria-fueling foods that actually make a difference. If you wa...

Did you know your vision isn't just fading because you're getting older? It's fading because of what you're eating and what's happening deep inside your gut.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked connections in medicine: the gut-eye axis. I walk you through the exact foods that act like internal sunglasses for your retina, the supplements with actual clinical trial data behind them, and the everyday ...

Most people think they’re getting all the health benefits of broccoli… simply by eating it.

But the truth is, the way most people prepare broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables may actually destroy some of their most powerful compounds before they ever reach your body.
